“I don’t know what is going to happen. I love driving and you could say it’s unlikely [I would retire], but you can’t say what frame of mind I will be in at Christmas. Hopefully, it will be really good. Even getting another championship, it won’t be a case of hanging up my gloves. I will always want to get more.”
